The Model IM1/I QuickConnect™ is designed to plug directly into
the rear of a Patton Electronics baseband modem (i.e. Model 1090 or
1092). The Model IM1/I is designed to be used as one of a pair of
units. Figure 1 (below) illustrates a typical Model IM1/I installation.

2.2 DESCRIPTION
Figure 1. Typical Model IM1/I application
The Patton IM1/I QuikConnect™ Ethernet WAN bridge module
installs in Patton’s copper and fiber base units to provide seamless
Ethernet LAN extension. The Patton IM1/I performs the bridging
function between two physically separate Ethernet LANs at the MAC
level. Operation of the Patton IM1/I is transparent to higher network
level protocols such as TCP/IP, DECnet, NETBIOS and IPX.
Once installed in the local Patton base unit, the Patton IM1/I works
in a “plug and play” manner to forward LAN broadcasts, multicasts and
frames destined for the peered Ethernet LAN at the remote end (the
Patton base unit at the remote end must also be equipped with an IM1/I
module). Using the Patton IM1/I, peered Ethernet LANs can be linked
over leased 2-wire/4-wire, DDS, PCM and campus fiber circuits.

3.0 CONFIGURATION
4.0 INSTALLATION
The Model IM1/I is completely plug and play. This section tells you
how to make the connections.
The Model IM1/I module plugs into Patton’s fiber and copper
baseband modems to provide Ethernet LAN extension. The IM1/I has
no switches or jumpers and does not need to be configured. However,
factors such as ty type of medium, throughput across the link and
clocking mode must be determined by the settings of the baseband
modems. Please refer to your baseband modem (i.e. 1092A, 1093,
1095, 1185, etc) to make the following settings.
4.1 INSTALLING THE QUICKCONNECT™ MODULE
Each Quick Connect Module™ has a 50-pin card edge connector
on one side and an ethernet interface on the other. The instructions
below describe how to remove the existing QuickConnect™ Module
and how to install the new IM1/I module. If your base unit does not
have an existing QuickConnect™ already installed, please skip to
section 3.2.2.
1) Bit Rate: The DTE rate setting of your base unit corresponds
to the throughput of your IM1/I bridge module. Use higher
speeds to allow maximum throughput to your extended LAN.
4.1.1 Removing the Existing QuickConnect™ Module
NOTE: The IM1/I only supports synchronous speeds.
1) Turn the power switch off. Leave the power cord plugged into a
grounded outlet to keep the unit grounded.
2) Clocking Mode: Set the clocking modes on the base units so
that one unit is configured for Internal clocking mode and the
other unit is set for Receive Recover clocking mode.
2) Loosen the two thumbscrews on the module by turning them
counterclockwise.
3) Grasp the two thumbscrews and gently pull the module from the
unit. Apply equal force to the thumbscrews to keep the module
straight during the removal process

Unit “B”

Receive Recover Clock Setting
NOTE: Unit “A” and Unit “B” are arbitrarily chosen. It does not matter which
unit is “A”, and which is “B”.
3) All other base unit settings depend upon your application and
on the application medium (twisted pair or coaxial cable)

3.1.2 Installing the New QuickConnect™ Module
4.2 CONNECTING TO THE 10BASE-T ETHERNET PORT
1) Make sure the power switch on the base unit is off. Leave the
power cord plugged into a grounded outlet to keep the unit
grounded.
The RJ-45 Ethernet port on Model IM1/I is designed to connect
directly to a 10BaseT network. Figure 3, below, shows the 10BaseT
RJ-45 port pin description. You may make connections up to 330 feet
using Type 4 or 5 cable.
2) Hold the module with the faceplate toward you and align the
module with the guide slots in the rear panel of the base unit.

3 RD+ (data input to IM1/I)

5 (no connection)
6 RD- (data input to IM1/I)

3) While keeping the module’s faceplate parallel with the base unit
rear panel, slide the module straight in–so that the card edge
contacts line up with the socket inside the chassis. Figure 2
(below) shows how a Quick Connect Module plugs into the rear
of the base unit.

4.2.1 Connecting the 10Base-T Ethernet Port to a Hub
e
The Model IM1/I 10Base-T interface is configured as DTE (Data
Terminal Equipment), just like a 10Base-T network interface card in a
PC. Therefore, it “expects” to connect to a 10Base-T Hub using a
straight-through RJ-45 cable. Use the diagram below to construct a
cable to connect the IM1/I to a 10Base-T Hub.

NOTE: The card edge connector should meet the socket when
it is almost all the way into the chassis. If you encounter a lot of
resistance, remove the module and repeat steps 2 & 3.
4.2.2 Connecting the 10Base-T Ethernet Port to a PC (DTE)
4) With the card edge contacts aligned with the socket, firmly seat
the module by using your thumbs to apply pressure directly to
the right and left edges of the module faceplate. Applying
moderate and even pressure should be sufficient to seat the
module. You should hear it “click” into place.
The Model IM1/I 10Base-T interface is configured as DTE (Data
Terminal Equipment). If you wish to connect the IM1/I to another DTE
device such as a 10Base-T network interface card in a PC, you must
construct a 10Base-T crossover cable as shown in the diagram below.

chassis and turn the screws clockwise to tighten.

5.0 OPERATION
4.3 CONNECTION TO THE LINE INTERFACE MEDIA
Once the Model IM1/1 is installed, it should operate transparently.
This sections describes power-up, general operating instructions, and
the LED status monitors.
Instructions for connecting the line interface media (twisted pair , or
fiber optic cable) are contained within the base unit user manual.
Please refer to the base unit manual for connection details.
5.1 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Notice! Any terminal cable connected to the Model IM1/I
must be shielded cable, and the outer shield must be 360
degree bonded–at both ends–to a metal or metalized backshell.
In order to operate, the Model IM1/I must be installed in the base
unit. It also requires a 10Base-T connection. After power is applied,
the IM1/I automatically starts performing the bridging function without
further user intervention. MAC addresses discovered are automatically
loaded into the MAC address table. They are automatically deleted
from the MAC address table if they experience an inactivity of 8
minutes.
4.4 CONNECTING TO AC OR DC POWER
Instructions for connecting the power supply Universal Interface
AC Power Supply and DC Power Supply option) are contained within
the base unit user manual. Please refer to the base unit manual for
connection details.
5.2 POWER-UP
Before applying power to the IM1/I, please be sure it is properly
installed in the base unit. Then make sure that unit is connected to the
appropriate power source (Universal Interface AC Power Supply or
DC Power Supply). Then power-up the base unit using the rear power
switch .
WARNING! The Model IM1/I interface card has been
specifically designed to work with UI and DC versions of
Patton Electronics base units. Use with 120/230VAC
versions could result in damage to the unit. If you are
unsure of your base unit power supply, please contact
